I like it . . . I'll buy it. It will make the C6 look old and depreciate faster.

nahh...

too thin lookin...even though it's wide. Maybe it's the AWD system, I dunno.

Not sure if the split window would be too big of a hit checking out the hottie in your rear view mirror.

Don't go the ricer skyline route and throw in twenty different body panels from 20 different cars.

Don't like.

I have several c2's and whats funny is that everyone talks about 63's....well back in 63 everyone hated the split. Thats why it was gone in 64, and people with 63's were cutting the split out. And you couldnt see out the back of the car at all. The only reason the split was there was to keep the body line seem.

I dont care what it looks like. All the famous cars, are famous because the PERFORM. The cobra was just a ac bristol, but make it perform.....and viola. A great car is nice looking because it performs. A good looking car that doesnt perform really ....well, thats most cars.

Yeah, I'd read something to the effect of "with backup cameras and other technology, rear vision isn't so much of a concern anymore." I couldn't stop laughing at how stupid that was. Throw in some asinine styling that conflicts with function and maybe 20% of people actually want, and justify it with a backup camera.

i may be blind, but it looks like the entire front is just one piece? no body lines or anything. Also, how would you open the door?

that's the new corvette STINGRAY, saw it in OC at the auto show.

Up close it is one badass piece of machine. Lambo doors releaved a tight driver compartment.

GM people there did not hold much hope it would ever go into production, but I want one!

I think it's too radical right now for most of the people who would purchase it. I think it looks great though.
